HornFX Review

Interface: 3/5This pedal has a host of dip switches that can change functionality of the pedal and of its knobs. It can be a confusing pedal to become familiar with (as indicated by the manufacturer), but its huge spectrum of options can be more easily tamed with MIDI and external control.

Versatility: 4.5/5This pedal has a huge array of beautiful and unique sounds, all with interestingly manipulable parameters. It has 6 tap subdivision options and many potential presets with MIDI. Although there is not a varying selection of delay “types” you can draw from an immensely variable palette of sounds with this pedal.

Live application: 4/5There are many parameters that can be hard to edit on the fly, but the two presets in the pedal, plus the many more available with MIDI, can make up for that. This pedal has such beautiful sounds that it would be a huge benefit to any board.
